think you need the regulators from a rear disc model but unsure as never had abs on any of my rear disc converted cars

No you dont need a cavalier rear beam and you dont need abs mate, you need the conversion kit m-tec one is good and some cavalier rear hubs, and a kadett gsi handbrake cable and disc pads calipers etc...

can i ask why you are going this?
It wont really help your braking effort. IMO its a waste of money/time for the gains you get

tbh thats sounds abit stupid.
Have you ever been in a corsa/nova with rear disks. IMO it just makes it skitish and unsafe under braking.

Not as good for tight cornering on Welsh mountain tracks compared to drums.
